Cardi B Celebrates “Invasion Of Privacy” Turning 6 Years Old, Teases New Album This Year

by

Six years ago, on April 6, Cardi B dropped her debut studio album Invasion Of Privacy, and it was an instant massive hit. Bolstered by fiery and beloved singles like “Bodak Yellow,” the album cinched a No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, nabbed Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammys, and had plenty of great songs to hold fans over. We mention that because it’s been radio silent from her on the full-length front since that release, although she’s promised that this will change very soon. Moreover, the Bronx rapper took to her Instagram Story on Saturday (April 6) to celebrate the occasion and double down on the promise of a new project in 2024.

“6 years ago I released my first album and it broke so many records GAH LEE!!” Cardi B expressed on the social media platform about Invasion Of Privacy‘s six-year anniversary. “6 years later I’m preparing to drop the next one this year.. it’s so different from what everyone is expecting and I’m sooo excited. Love you guys and thank you for the support! I’ll talk to ya soon I been so busy these last few days [red heart emojis].”

Cardi B Reflects On 6-Year Anniversary Of Invasion Of Privacy: Read

Furthermore, Cardi B has been relatively quiet online when it comes to her fan interactions, although there was some recent drama brewing in her mentions. A conversation around racial ambiguity roped content creator Raymonté in this time around, and this recent instance reflects a larger debate around Black and Latine communities. Specifically, she took issue with so many people not only misrepresenting her Latin American roots, but invalidating them in the face of other heritages. It’s a complex conversation with a lot of gray area, and one that is much larger than any one artist.

However, the good news is that this also resulted in a surprising confirmation for some fans: Bardi and Nicki Minaj loyalist Ice Spice are actually on good terms. They bonded over their Dominican heritage in this case and shut down any and all beef rumors between them. Hopefully these conflict lines can become clearer (and less frequently drawn) within the rap world in the near future. For more news and the latest updates on Cardi B and her next moves, stay posted on HNHH.

Cardi B Goes Hard In Sultry New Snaps From “Enough (Miami)” Music Video

by

Cardi B is keeping feet on necks on the charts and on social media, as she just shared some steamy new photos from behind the scenes of her “Enough (Miami)” music video shoot. Moreover, they’re specifically relating to the black and jewelry-adorned fit that she donned for specific shots in the vid, and they’re both of her on-set and in her dressing room. Plenty of superstars such as SZA and Flo Milli chimed in the comments section to give the Bronx MC her flowers for her beauty. With all this online hype, plus a rapidly moving album rollout, it seems like she’s going to stay on top for the foreseeable future.

However, throughout the 31-year-old’s recent press run, she’s also talked about what’s keeping her from having the same love for music she used to have. “I have a couple of problems with music,” Cardi B remarked on 360 with Speedy. “I feel like I don’t like nothing. That’s one of my things. Because I record a song, I love it, two days later, I’m over it. To be honest with you, I don’t really like anything that’s out right now. I listen to music that came out 8, 10, 20, 30 years ago.

“Maybe I’m just so into breaking things down now,” Cardi B continued. “You know, where you overanalyze everything, your music and other people’s music, that I don’t know what I like anymore. Also, it’s just not as fun anymore. Like, when you go to the booth, or when you record, you’re just having fun, you creating. Now, it just be feeling like it’s a pressure. When I did… I call it ‘C**ty,’ because we named it ‘C**ty’ originally. I was having fun, I had fun recording it, I had fun doing the video. When it came out, Jesus Christ, I was like, ‘Damn! Hold up, I just came back, y’alls going too rough on me!’ I gotta get that off my mind because that’s what f**ks s**t up.”

Meanwhile, on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, she expressed desires to work with Rihanna, but admitted fear at the prospect. Do you think that’s something that will happen eventually?

Cardi B Speaks On Her Real Net Worth & Her Issues With Making Music Today

by

Cardi B’s on quite the press run recently, as it looks like she will finally drop her long-awaited sophomore studio album sometime soon. After all, she’s dropped a couple of singles, high-profile features, and remixes in the last few months, most recently of which was the track “Enough (Miami).” But the Bronx superstar also has a lot to look back on when it comes to her career, and a lot of explaining to do when it comes to her relationship with music. Moreover, during a recent interview on 360 With Speedy, she reflected on her financial success and what her issues are with music today. “Uh… Jesus Christ,” the 31-year-old answered when asked about whether her reported $80 million net worth is accurate. “I made a lot of money, I made a lot of money.

“I feel like I’ve actually passed almost doing $80 million,” Cardi B went on. “Like, I make a lot of money, I make a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of money. But I also got a lot, a lot of bills. Like you said, your family, right? I take care of all these -– I’m helping a lot, I’m not gonna say I take care. I help a lot of my friends and I help a lot of my family and everything. I have no choice [but to help]. How can I say no and I’m buying Birkins? I don’t like [helping] when I feel like they’re playing with me. Because it’s like, ‘Alright, if you’re so broke, if you’re really going through some s**t, I just seen you outside.’ I remember when I was broke, I was never outside.

“Like, I just seen you buy some designers,” Cardi B continued. “Even when I was a stripper and I had times that I struggled, I was not buying none of that s**t. So it’s just like, when I feel like I’m being played with, it’s like, ‘Alright… Don’t play with it.’ No, [I don’t say no]. Barely. Sometimes, it’s like… that s**t don’t make no sense.” “I have a couple of problems with music,” she added later in the conversation. “I feel like I don’t like nothing. That’s one of my things. Because I record a song, I love it, two days later, I’m over it. To be honest with you, I don’t really like anything that’s out right now. I listen to music that came out 8, 10, 20, 30 years ago.

Cardi B Turns Heads & Riles Fans Up With Provocative “Enough” Music Video

by

Cardi B is back with a new single “Enough (Miami),” continuing her recent hype for her upcoming and long-awaited album. While not everyone’s a fan of the song, there are plenty of people discussing the fiery, well-composed, and often provocative nature of its music video. Moreover, there’s a lot of scantily-clad outfit changes, suggestive posing, and attitude through both the body language and the lyrics that take things in a pretty lewd direction. It’s not a surprising move considering this catalog, but one that still aims to spark conversation regardless and, hopefully for their team, get more and more people excited for this upcoming LP.

Furthermore, the Bronx rapper is also dealing with some fallout thanks to a debate provoked by her comments on relationships. In fact, it doesn’t really have much to do with the relationship part, as she simply just said that she believes in a couple splitting all expenses 50/50. Rather, Cardi B remarked that she’s “not a feminist anymore,” and this is what caused a lot of people to push back and demand a more elaborate explanation. However, in all likelihood, she probably didn’t mean this as a direct attack on feminism as a whole, and it might just be a generalized comment for this specific relationship situation.

Regardless of all that, the 31-year-old is having quite the busy week, as Flo Milli also recently teased that she, Bardi, and SZA will all join forces on the remix of her hit “Never Lose Me.” We’re not used to getting so much material in such a short span of time, and if you’re part of the Gang, you’re probably buzzing with excitement right now. Hopefully this prolific streak is something that can continue throughout 2024. After all, it would certainly be making up for lost time.

Meanwhile, what did you think of this new music video from the “Bongos” hitmaker? Does she still have that provocative edge or will she have to focus on something else for her new rollout? Whatever the case, let us know your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Cardi B.

Joe Budden Claims Nicki Minaj & Cardi B Shift Release Dates To Compete

by

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have been fighting for the throne of female rap for years now. Wherever you fall on that debate, you might think that the conversation is over already in either’s favor, but you can’t deny that it could all change quickly in the public eye. However, the recent drops of Pink Friday 2 a few months ago and the brand new “Like What” freestyle (and “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion a couple of months before the Barbz’s 2023 fav) have respectively reopened a conversation around how they tend to drop around the same time. Moreover, The Joe Budden Podcast recently weighed in on this, and its titular host thinks that this has been a long-running phenomenon.

“Whenever Cardi was trying to drop, Nicki was trying to drop,” Joe Budden told his co-hosts. “And that’s why Nicki kept changing dates. Don’t quote me on nothing [sorry, Joe]. But Nicki changed that date, like, five times trying to match up with whenever Cardi was dropping. And that was supposed to be the big… I mean, just as consumers looking at it, that was supposed to be the 50 [and] Kanye. And that, I feel like, would have helped Cardi. Nicki, I think, was gonna sell whatever she was gonna sell regardless. But Cardi, I think, would’ve gotten a big boost and just catapult from that marketing.

“It didn’t happen, and then Nicki dropped,” Joe Budden continued. “I ain’t spoke to nobody up there in Atlantic, but I think Cardi backed out of that. I think she ran from that. And now we about to be in March, spring, summer, year six! It’s year six. I think a lot of these girl rappers are going through City Girls drama and keeping it low. I just mean, where the branding is louder than everything else.“

Meanwhile, what do you think about this debate? What about Budden’s thoughts on other debates such as the current Big Three rankings for 2010s hip-hop between Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Drake? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Joe Budden, stay posted on HNHH.

Cardi B Gets Love From Missy Elliott & Timbaland For “Like What (Freestyle)”

by

Cardi B’s new single “Like What (Freestyle)” is still making big waves this weekend as one of its biggest releases. It’s a fiery track that samples Missy Elliott and Timbaland’s classic beat off the 1999 single “She’s a B***h,” which appeared on the former’s sophomore Da Real World and was produced by the latter. Moreover, the duo shared excited co-signs on their Instagram Stories when the song dropped, with Timbo writing “Da [crown emoji]” and Missy sharing a post of the song’s cover art with some dancing emojis. Regardless of what fans think of the record, this is the highest praise that a sample-using artists can get.

Of course, Cardi B is far from the first person to use this beat after Missy Elliott and Timbaland. BIA sampled the instrumental for a banger recently, so did Flo Milli with some similarly great verses over it, and it was most famously used by Ski Mask the Slump God for his 2017 cut, “Catch Me Outside.” This song defined the SoundCloud rap generation in our eyes, and its creator took to Twitter to comment on the similarities between “Like What (Freestyle)” and his own work. When fans assumed he said this in a negative or shady way, he quickly clarified that he actually likes the Bronx rapper’s take.

Missy Elliott & Timbaland Reportedly Salute Cardi B

Overall, this excitement and endorsement simply builds up even more hype for Cardi B’s next album. With recent confirmation that a Shakira collab will also show up on it, die-hards are really looking forward to this new direction. It’s been six years since Invasion of Privacy, and although there’s been no shortage of singles and big moments to keep her in the news cycle, there’s a lot more competition these days in the femcee world. As such, it’s do or die time.

Meanwhile, what do you think about “Like What (Freestyle)”? Do you agree with fans’ praise of it or is this legendary duo overrating this release? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Cardi B, Missy Elliott, and Timbaland.

Joe Budden Thinks Cardi B’s New Single Marks The End Of The Female Rap Wave

by

The titular host of The Joe Budden Podcast launched a scorching take on the latest episode of the program concerning Cardi B’s new single, “Like What (Freestyle).” However, the part that social media is reacting the most heavily to doesn’t even have much to do with the actual song itself. For the record, the rapper and media personality thinks that the record is a cool one, although he expressed as such in a slightly backhanded way. But the part that really prompted heated fan debate is his assessment that the “girl rapper wave” is over, which is obviously tough to imagine.

“Y’all ain’t gonna want to hear it from me, but the girl rapper wave is over,” Joe Budden remarked on the show after he and his colleagues played “Like What (Freestyle).” “All of that ‘Go find a girl, send her to Columbia, get it done, put her in the studio with f***ing [Mike WiLL Made-It] or any one of them n***as.’ All that planting the girl in the scene, getting the record and it taking off, that wave is over.”

Not only that, but the Slaughterhouse MC also posited that record labels aren’t getting their investments back on femcees. While there wasn’t really any data or analysis offered to back this up, he did separately bring up the long wait for Cardi B’s sophomore album, which one could interpret as an example of this. “I think the Cardi freestyle is cool,” Joe Budden conceded. “I mean, I’m gonna think it’s cool. Because anybody’s gonna sound good over the ‘She’s A B***h’ beat.”

Meanwhile, it’s understandable to think that some female artists in rap didn’t capitalize on their hype, but can’t we say that across any demographic? The wave that the media personality is specifically referencing, though, has been around for quite some time. As such, it’s up to these femcees, whether superstars or on the rise, to define the next era. Considering all the talent floating around right now, we can’t wait for what’s in store. For more news and the latest updates on Joe Budden and Cardi B, stick around on HNHH.

Ski Mask The Slump God Shouts Out Cardi B’s Single For Sounding Like His Work

by

When some fans listened to Cardi B’s new single “Like What (Freestyle),” they might’ve thought, “Haven’t I heard this before?” Well, it’s because the beat that she and her team a sampled, Timbaland’s “She’s A B***h” for Missy Elliott’s 1999 album Da Real World, is a pretty popular beat. Flo Milli spit some amazing bars over a sample, BIA recently slid on a drill flip of it, and most notably, Ski Mask the Slump God used the beat in its unaltered form for one of his biggest hits -– and a staple of the SoundCloud rap era, “Catch Me Outside.” Moreover, he also noticed the parallels.

“Sounds Kinda Familiar,” Ski Mask the Slump God quote-tweeted Cardi B’s post linking the song on Friday (March 1). “I Like The Song Why Yall So Angry Lol,” he followed up with mere minutes after his original message on the social media platform. Of course, the Bardi Gang probably didn’t take too kindly to the assumption that the Florida rapper suggested biting, especially given how much they liked “Like What (Freestyle).” However, this shows that not only is this a reductive way to categorize similar inspiration points that stand as classics in the game, but that there’s a lot of mutual respect there most of the time.

Ski Mask The Slump God Reacts To Cardi B’s “Like What (Freestyle)”

After all, Missy Elliott cosigned “Catch Me Outside” back in 2017, she showed love to Cardi B’s new record, and Ski Mask the Slump God made it clear that he’s a fan of the Bronx MC’s take. If anything, this is probably more of an indication of how fervently his fanbase accused Cardi of this, and how viciously the Bardi Gang responded. But the “Black Forces” lyricist has been in the game long enough to know that there are so many songs you can pull out of just one sample. Cardi should know this too, and it would be interesting to see if she’s a fan of “Catch Me Outside,” too.

Meanwhile, the “Get Up 10” femcee is hyping fans up for her new album this year, one of 2024’s biggest upcoming releases. How do you think it will stack up -– and do you need Ski on the “Like What (Freestyle)” remix? However you may feel, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B and Ski Mask the Slump God.

Cardi B Hypes Up New Album This Year While Ignoring The Haters

by

Cardi B seems to be kicking off her album rollout into full gear with the new single, “Like What (Freestyle).” Sure, she had already dropped “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion, but this solo return is really what has fans prepped for something big on the way. Moreover, the Bronx rapper recently took to Instagram to share a desktop filled to the brim with material she worked on in January of 2023, plus a preview of a DAW arrangement of another track. Not only that, but she confirmed once again that her new album, her sophomore effort and her first in about six years, is arriving this year.

“Look at how long I had this f***ing record for,” Cardi B began her IG video hyping her next move up for fans. “January 27, twenty-twenty-f***ing-three. I was working on this s**t at 5AM, you know I’m a night owl. I promise y’all this year, I’m not letting my anxiety, I’m not letting what haters say, I’m not letting what fans say… If I do a song, I’ma just f***ing drop it. Well, I got no choice, ’cause I’m dropping my album this year, so… Stay tuned for the announcement, but don’t play with me! Don’t play with me! Look how I sound on it. ‘Cause I know I got a thick accent. *plays ‘Like What (Freestyle)’*.”

What’s more is that this new rollout also involves some drama and speculation (maybe planned, maybe not) around Cardi B’s romantic life. As you probably know, she and her on-and-off-again husband Offset seem to be going through a rough -– or at the very least difficult -– patch right now. But given that the former Migo directed the 31-year-old’s visual for “Like What (Freestyle),” it seems like their professional working relationship is smooth as butter. We’ll just have to wait and see if there’s anything deeper here.

Meanwhile, this obviously brought up all the femcee beef that rages online between Nicki Minaj’s Barbz, the Bardi Gang, and more. While that’s a pesky fly buzzing around this new album, we can’t wait to let the windows down and soak it in when it lands. Whoever’s side you’re on, can’t we all just demand some good music and call it a day? Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.

Cardi B Gets Fans Riled Up Over New Single, “Like What (Freestyle)”: See Reactions

by

Cardi B is back, and the Bardi Gang couldn’t be happier with her new single, the vicious “Like What (Freestyle).” Moreover, social media lit up with a firestorm of reactions, whether they were excited, skeptical, critical, or simply happy to have an album rollout finally in our hands. Sure, there was the Megan Thee Stallion collab “Bongos” last year, but this feels like a more elaborate and special drop with more anticipation behind it. After all, both femcees basically did a dual comeback moment, and they both went on to provide the true individual kick-offs to their respective new eras.

Furthermore, a lot of fans broke down the bars on “Like What (Freestyle),” commented on the Missy Elliott and Timbaland sampling in the beat, and spoke on Cardi B’s performance as a rapper. Overall, reactions seem pretty positive online, and most folks understood the assignment and are looking at this as a straight-up rap song. But another notable aspect that folks found curious was the fact that the Bronx rapper’s on-and-off-again husband, Offset, directed the video. The Bardi Gang reacted particularly wildly to this, as their relationship status is still unclear.
